30 years ago I volunteered as a clinic escort in Buffalo, NY and most of the ‘regulars’ were grey-haired granny aged liberal women who put their bodies on the line in the dead of winter. I’m 51 now and still view them as my role model for activism. These women are fulfilling the tradition.

If you or people you know, are having difficulty understanding why Ukraine is "our problem," here's a visual. And also, defending innocent lives from hostile takeovers should be a sufficient reason alone.

I was searching for a burial record and came across one for an 'illegitimate' child who was baptised in Cowbridge. While the vicar has recorded the father's occupation as 'Labourer', the vicar recorded the mother's occupation as "Strumpet." 👀 #Wales #History

I hadn’t read this case when I wrote this article last year on cards, but I included other examples in it where cards were used as magical objects, as charms, talismans, and reused as note paper, records… as well as used for divination academic.oup.com/fh/article/3... 🗃️

Medical misogyny exists beyond gynae conditions too. It is implicit & explicit bias. It is gendering of emotions so women’s pain is minimised & women are seen to be hysterical. It’s not trusting women’s testimonies about their own bodies. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

🟣 Today my mind blew learning that our human brains create the appearance of purple. The colour purple doesn’t exist physically, it’s a “nonspectral colour”. It’s created in the mind of the human perceiving the lack of green. There are no purple photons.

We have no idea what the word 'Yule' means. We can take guesses because we have the word jōl in Old Norse and jiuleis in Gothic, and while Odin was called one of the jolnir (Yule gods), we don't know what the original meaning of this word was.

My local Waterstones promoting only white and almost only celebrity authors for their Black Friday sale. Obviously, buy indie if you can but also be wary of the way these campaigns line specific people’s pockets.
